After the huge success of Sonisphere 2010, the world's only internationally touring festival heads to Knebworth, taking place from July 8th through to July 10th.
Friday night brings together the Big 4 - Metallica, Slayer, Megadeth and Anthrax - in the UK for the first time in history. For Saturday night, Scottish rockers Biffy Clyro will headline, and Iowa's favourite sons, Slipknot, with an exclusive UK performance, bring their famously chaotic live show to Knebworth for the first time on Sunday night.
